Ice Cream Recall: Full List of Brands Impacted
What triggered the recall of the ice cream products?
The recall of ice cream products was triggered by the detection of Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause food poisoning, during routine sampling by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
